Community involvement

Giving back to communities in the Quad Cities

At RBC Wealth Management, we are dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live and work through philanthropy, volunteerism and responsible stewardship. We are very proud to actively support the causes we are passionate about. We invite you to explore the information below to learn more about our community involvement.

Coffee and canines

When the City of Davenport announced it would be ending its animal services agreement with the Humane Society of Davenport, our office knew it was time to act. Coffee & Canines brought clients, employees, and Humane Society volunteers together for a morning of community and compassion, raising approximately $8,000 in monetary donations and $3,000 in donated supplies for the shelter. The response was so overwhelmingly positive that we're already planning to make it an annual event, because doing right by our community isn't a one-time thing — it's who we are.

A huge shout out to Katlin Young for organizing RBC Wealth Management's Coffee for Canines event on April 24th. Additional thank yous to Katlin's helpers, Hillary Williams, Adisson McCullough and Aric Kreeger.

Lend a Paw 2023

During the month of June, RBC office Associate Katlin Young lead a "Lend a Paw" dog and cat donation drive for King's Harvest Pet Rescue. King's Harvest Pet Rescue is a local nonprofit animal shelter in the Quad Cities. With donations from the office and clients, RBC was able to provide the shelter with items from their wish list in an effort to save more animals.

RBC Blue Water Day

Since 2007, RBC has publicly celebrated its support for water on RBC Blue Water Day. Every year in June, RBC rallies employees worldwide around a single cause. We hold events, celebrate out network of grant recipients, share information about water, and engage in volunteer efforts to makeover fresh water resources around the globe.

To date, RBC has pledged nearly $41 million to more than 700 charitable organizations worldwide that protect watersheds and promote access to clean drinking water, with an additional $8.8 million pledged to universities for water programs.

On May 26th, the Davenport Office of RBC Wealth Management partnered with Living Lands and Waters to cleanup the Mississippi River for the second year in a row. The cleanup was a huge success - our 11 volunteers cleared up approximately 2,138 pounds of garbage from our cleanup site. This included 31 tires, 15 large bags of miscellaneous trash, four 55 gallon drums, a refrigerator door and a basketball hoop,  We were also proud to present a Day of Service Grant in the amount of $1,000.00 to Living Lands & Waters.

We are grateful for the opportunity to volunteer with such a fantastic organization, and we look forward to continued volunteer efforts in the future.
